FTA : "I think you can pretty much pinpoint the date I didn’t have to work any more after the startup I was a co-owner of was bought and found myself with a lot of free time on my hands? Kinda? So I’ve been basically working full time on Emacs bug fixing (and triage) for a couple years (with some holidays at random) instead." I would love to be in such a situation... Unfortunately, I don't have a start up to sell so I'll be a slave all my life and won't have the opportunity to work full time for a non profit project that I love. Dies irae.

Not having a startup to sell doesn't mean you have to be a slave all your life. You could find a job you enjoy, or save up some money and retire. Look up "financial independence/retiring early" - it's not suitable for everyone, but if you're here, you probably qualify :)
